A lot more blood, I'm guessing.

I agree. I thought Schlafly had gone the way of bee hives and three martini lunches.Something we giggle about. Who knew these views were still relevant to ANYONE?

Exactly. It shows they aren't putting forth much effort, which makes me doubt their authority on anything.

When I lived in up near Potsdam, NY my family had close friends in the Old Order Amish (many were so Old Order that they wouldn't use buggies w/ rubber on the wheels) community. They do make use of hospitals and other modern medical care. Many also have no problem with riding in motor vehicles - they simply cannot own…

Agreed. Street harassment is about power, not sex and women who aren't conventionally attractive experience it too.

It's typical escalation of violence yep

I like this. I was really afraid, when I started reading this article, that is was going to be about how men carried around cakes and everyone looked at them and now they understand what it's like to walk around in public as a woman. And I'm so glad that that's not what it was.

Dat "killing a dog" thing, tho.

It depends on the order. Different Amish communities have different rules for things like this, called "ordnung." Each community has a set of elders who vote on the rules. The rules are understood more than written down — but in any event, hairstyles and apparel are subject to different standards in different…

Ok, I give. I feel for the mother here. She's a widow (albeit a tremendously wealthy one) who will inevitably lose her son (for good reason). She'll probably be criticized as an enabler, if not an idiot for whisking away to make a sandwich while a murder is about to take place.

Do you save the bread though?

They don't have as many chimneys in Florida, but now they wish they did?

Letting your kids believe in Santa:

She might just really hate being put on film. Believe it or not, even in the age of social media, not everyone is running towards the camera.

one of my daughter's friends insists she's allergic to corn on the cob but can eat loose corn, corn chips and any other thing that includes corn. I think she just doesn't like it on the cob.

Good call. I've thought about that myself - whether or not people I know would have been spending equal amounts of time doing different but similar things. Some people I know, though, spend so much time on there and share such personal things publicly, that my perception of them has completely changed. I can't…

I don't disagree with the privacy objections, but I've avoided Facebook for a much simpler reason: it feels like a very impersonal form of interaction. I tried it for a year, and all I saw were individuals talking to their respective audiences rather than other individuals, which seems like an inherent hazard in a…

However, this isn't a problem inherent with Facebook itself. It's a problem with us. Distractions and procrastination existed long before the internet. We've talked a lot about how to defeat distractions and get your work done. In fact, Facebook can even be useful. As we've discussed before, Facebook groups are…

But if we don't spend a ridiculous amount of money on a ridiculous amount of presents for our babies, how will we be able to prove (via photos on Facebook) that we are the best parents?!?
